Like the subject says, I bought a Naish Nalu 11'4" GT today. My wife and I took turns SUP-ing the board at Kailua beach.

The board takes a one bolt twist-on base for mounting a windsurf rig on windy days. It also surfs like a traditional longboard with trusters mounted. If you're anywhere with surf and intermittent wind, this can be your do-it-all board. In my opinion, this is the board people ought to sail on light wind days in Kailua. Take it surfing at Waikiki in rolling waves when there's no wind. Yet, today at 10 mpg wind there were just a couple of miserable kiters out who ended up walking back.

The board looks amazing and is light as heck, at 24 lbs it is a whole 3 lbs lighter than the composite version. The only thing we overlooked is that it's too tall and too wide to fit into the board rack outside our building.

Shawn at Naish in Kailua took a bunch of our money today and it was worth it. I'm not pimping Naish, but I like their store in Kailua and I think Shawn is awesome.
